Once again, very short chapter, but I know that and so I don't need flames about it. This is an important chapter and I couldn't have left it anywhere else so please give it a chance – it's a dramatic scene (well…. Sort of)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Power Rangers SPD or Kat.
I snuck out of the camp every other day, always smuggling a whole hamper of peach, kiwi and bananas under my cloak. Every time our friendship grew, and we could lament our worries to each other, be open and honest.
I knew it was wrong – so wrong – but I also knew that I should be a mother by now, and that I may be falling slowly in love. One night, when the moon was full, we stayed in the depths of the forest all night. In the morning, I told him to meet me when the moon was next full, and no sooner. He nodded, kissed me gently and left. I stood, stunned for a while, and then headed back to the tribe.
I went into the healers den.
"Kat!" Felix greeted me. "You smell odd…" I shuffled my feet trying to drop a hint. He didn't get it. "Your whole aura has changed…"
"Whose has?" Hope emerged from the shadows.
"Kats." Felix replied.
"Hmm…" Hope frowned, knowingly at me. "Felix you wouldn't just run and get me some more marigolds would you?" Felix nodded and ran off. "Felix is right Kat; your aura has changed a lot." Hope circled me. "Sometimes that sort of thing just happens especially when you are so young. But I realise that this is not the case with you. You are pregnant, Kat, aren't you?"
"Only of last night." I admitted, beginning to sob slightly. Hope pulled me close and wrapped her arms around me protectively. I had not felt that type of affection before, not even from my mother or Frog, so for some reason I sobbed harder.

"Don't cry." She comforted, stroking my unruly tangled hair. "It's a blessing isn't it?" I didn't answer. Was it? I'd be thrown from the clan if they knew whose children they were. "I promise you it is! Your friends will be so pleased, and it's brilliant to bring new warriors into the world! And I'm sure that the father will want to spend every last minute with you."
"But, Hope, the father isn't here! That is why it's not a blessing to have children! The father is Frog of Lithes clan!" I expected Hope to shout at me, throw me out of the den and shame me before the whole clan. But she didn't. She hugged me tighter and murmured to me comfortingly:
"Oh dear, Kat, you always did have trouble fitting in here didn't you?" Then she sighed. "But nobody has to know that. I'll help you find a way to let him see the babies I promise." There was silence, and then Scrouge walked in.
"What's her problem?" He sneered, not exactly sympathetically.
I hid my face, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Hope said it for me, "Kat is having a baby Scrouge. Isn't it wonderful?"
"About time. It's a disgrace to be 11 and not had a baby." Scrouge growled, turning round and stalking out.
Soon the moon was full again, and I slunk away to see Frog, my mate – the father of my children. I hugged him immediately, and I never wanted to let go. I whispered my news in his ear.
"We're having a baby…" Frog whispered, delighted. He hugged me again. That should've scared me… the ignorance of believing two warriors from different clans could combine themselves as one without any consequence… but I pushed it away.

Big news for our favourite couple! A baby! Well, more than one, actually, it is natural for cats to have large litters so we can only expect catumans to be the same can't we? Before I say too much, please review!
